STANLEY DUSAK, OF SEANOR, PENNSYLVANIA.

TELEPHONE-RECEIVER HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, STANLEY DUSAK, a subject of the Emperor ofAustria-Hungary, residing at Seanor, in the county of Somerset and Stateof Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inTelephone-Receiver Holders, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a receiver holder for telephones, and theprimary object of my invention is to provide an adjustable holder for areceiver that will eliminate the necessity of holding the receiver inthe hand when conversing over a telephone, thereby allowing the hands tobe used for other purposes.

Another object of this invention is to provide a receiver holder thatcan be advantageously used inconnection with a wall telephone, theholder being constructed whereby it can be easily and quickly adjustedto correctly position the receiver thereof at a persons ear.

A further object of this invention is to provide an adjustable receiverholder consisting of comparatively few parts that are inexpensive tomanufacture, durable and highly eiiicient for the purposes for whichthey are intended.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention resides in anovel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to behereinafter specifically described and then claimed.

Reference will now be had to the drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a frontelevation of a telephone provided with the receiver holder. Fig. 2 is aplan of the same, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a portion of apivoted arm forming part of the holder.

The reference numeral 1 denotes a wall telephone having a switch box 3that has the ordinary receiver hook or arm 2. Suitably secured to theside of the box 3 is a bracket 4 that has the outer ends thereofbifurcated to provide apertured lugs 5 and pivotally mounted betweensaid lugs by a pin 6 is the inner apertured end of a pivoted arm 7, saidarm having the outer end thereof provided with a head 8. The head 8 isslotted, as at 9, to provide apertured lugs 10.

The reference character 12 indicates links of a series of links and theinner link of Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 25, 1912.

Patented Apr. a, rare. Serial No. 699,699.

said series of links is pivotally mounted upon a pin 11, which extendsthrough the lugs 10.

The reference character 1% denotes links of a series of sets of links,and the inner set thereof, which is indicated by the reference character13, is pivotally mounted upon the pin 1].. The outer link of said seriesof links is indicated by the reference character 12 and the outer set ofsaid series of sets is indicated by the reference character 14. The link12 -and the set 14 are pivotally connected, by the pin 15% to a clampingmember 15. The links 12 of the series are pivotally connected'togetheras at 12 and the sets of links are pivotally connected together as at14*. e

Detachably connected to the member 15 by a bolt 16 and a nut 17 is aclamping member 18 that cooperates with the member 15 in holding areceiver 19. For ornamentation purposes the members 15 and 18 are shapedsimilar to the hand. The receiver 19 is permanently connected to thepivoted links 14 through the medium of the members 15 and 18. Thereceiver 19 when the telephone is not in use is mounted in the hook 2,the members 15 and 18 being seated upon said hook. If it be desiredtouse the telephone, the receiver 19 is removed from the hook 2 and thelinks adjusted so that the receiver 19 will be positioned against theear of the party using the telephone. When the links are moved inclosed'position they are bent upon themselves in such manner that thereceiver 19 can be positioned in the hook 2.

The holder in its entirety can be made of light and durable metalfinished to harmonize with the fittings of the telephone.

What I claim is A telephone receiver holder comprising a bracket adaptedto be fixed to a telephone and positioned parallel with respect to andprojecting beyond the receiver hook of the telephone, an arm pivotallyconnected to said bracket and having its outer end provided with aplurality of spaced lugs, a series of links pivotally connectedtogether, a series of sets of links, said sets pivotally connectedtogether, means for pivotally connecting the inner link of said seriesof links and the inner set of said series of sets, to said lugs, atelephone receiver supporting member, means for pivotally connecting theouter link of said series of links and the outer set of said series ofsets to said supporting member, and a clamping member for se- Intestimony whereof I affix mysignatur'e curing the telephone recelver tosaid sup- 111 the presence of two wltnesses. portlng member, said linkscapable of belng swung in the plane of said arm and further STANLEYDUSAK' 5 capable of being folded upon themselves, Witnesses: 7
